Harris and Trump converge on razor-tight Michigan in pursuit of a winning coalition

(CNN) Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump collided Friday in Michigan, both barnstorming the state as they wage a tight battle for its potentially decisive 15 Electoral College votes.

The two converged on vote-rich Oakland County, northwest of Detroit – where an increasingly educated, diverse population and the suburban revolt against Trump has shifted the political landscape in Democrats’ favor in recent years.

Harris told a crowd in Waterford Township that Trump was “full of big promises, but always fails to deliver” and called him “one of the biggest losers of manufacturing jobs in American history.”

Both campaigns are targeting specific pockets of prospective voters in Michigan, including union workers, Black voters, suburban moderates and Arab Americans who are unhappy with the Biden administration’s handling of Israel’s war in Gaza.
